According to the sheriff’s office, a man in a pickup truck ran a stop sign at Jones Falls Drive and Misty Springs Drive. A deputy attempted to pull over the driver and he began to slow down, officials said.
However, the driver then sped up and led deputies on a high-speed chase through several neighborhoods on the East Side.
Officials said the driver reached speeds of 90 miles per hour as he approached Cherry Street. The driver made a left turn and drove down a few blocks before crashing his vehicle at Cherry Street and I-35.
The driver was checked over by EMS and was then taken into custody, according to the BCSO.
He’s facing a charge of evading arrest and possibly a DWI, as they detected alcohol on his breath, according to deputies.
The driver also has several other DWIs on record, officials said.
